The 2022 Skoda Kodiaq range of configurations is currently priced from $33,888.
Our most recent review of the 2022 Skoda Kodiaq resulted in a score of 7.9 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Managing Editor - Head of Video Matt Campbell had this to say at the time: All in all the changes to the 2022 Skoda Kodiaq range hardly change the game, and indeed, some further changes wouldn’t have gone astray - the inclusion of that safety gear range-wide at no cost being the chief one.

This is what Matt Campbell liked most about this particular version of the Skoda Kodiaq: RS is good fun, Clever interior packaging, Strong ownership prospects
The 2022 Skoda Kodiaq carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2000 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Skoda Kodiaq 2022 prices range from $37,730 for the basic trim level SUV Style (4X4) 132TSI to $56,430 for the top of the range SUV Sportline (4X4).
The interior of the Skoda Kodiaq is clever, but hasn't changed a lot for the most recent facelift.
All grades have a 9.2-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless connectivity, plus a wireless smartphone charger. In fact, Skoda calls its cabin "wire-free", which might explain why there are only two USB-C ports in the front, and none for the rear rows of seats.
There's also a "Virtual Cockpit" digital instrument cluster on all grades, which looks great and is easy to use, too.
You have a few figures to consider for the Kodiaq's boot.
Seven seats up? That's 270L VDA.
Five seats up? Depends where the second row seat is slid to, with 630L (VDA) minimum or 765L maximum (VDA).
Just need the front two seats? Then you'll have 2005L (VDA) at your disposal.
All models in the Skoda Kodiaq range have seven seats. The middle row slides and folds to allow access to the third row.
The middle row has child-seat anchor points - three top-tether and two ISOFIX - but the back row doesn't have the option for child-seat attachments.
The Skoda Kodiaq has plenty of interesting features, from the optional leather trim with heated and cooled front seats, heated second-row seats and a heated steering wheel, to the panoramic sunroof you can option on the lower two grades.
Don't like ticking option boxes? The RS has everything you can get in a Kodiaq, all thrown in.
Modern cars like the Skoda have sealed cooling systems which means they shouldn’t need regular top-ups. As the engine heats up and the coolant expands, any excess coolant is captured by an overflow tank which stores the coolant and then allows it to be sucked back into the engine’s cooling system as the car cools down. This is all perfectly normal. All of which means that if you have coolant disappearing, then there’s a leak somewhere, but don’t necessarily jump to the conclusion that the radiator is at fault.
The problem could be one of many things, including a failed radiator hose or some other piece of critical plumbing, a faulty water pump, cracked cylinder head, blown head gasket, broken overflow tank, failed radiator cap, split cylinder bore, leaking heater matrix and more. The dealership should be able to tackle this as a warranty job and will probably pressurise the cooling system and see where, if anywhere, coolant starts to appear where it shouldn’t.

The Kodiaq RS - now with a petrol-turbo engine - is quicker than ever before, with a 0-100km/h time of just 6.6 seconds. That's 0.4sec faster than the existing diesel RS.
The base models aren't slouches either, with claimed 0-100 speeds of 8.4sec.
